McDonald’s has become the latest company to announce that its restaurants will be closed on Monday to allow staff to pay their respects to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

A short statement released by McDonald’s this afternoon said:

“All of our UK restaurants will be closed on Monday until 5pm, to allow everyone at McDonald’s to pay their respects to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. 

“Operating hours and services may vary after 5pm, so please check our app before travelling.”

They join companies such as Aldi, Lidl and John Lewis in doing the same.
